The reading and discussion of
Getting Started has been divided into four modules. Click 'Course Information', also located on the course menu, for a more detailed description and timeline for each module. In order for this book study to be beneficial, it has been designed to include interaction between you and your peers through the use of discussion boards, wikis, and blogs. Communication and collaboration are important aspects of the book study which means it is imperative that everyone does their part.
